If it's in the economy, why isn't it coming my way?

SO judgmental. I would have loved it if a jerk like you had tried to tell me how to spend my food stamps when I was on them years ago. Simply loved it. I would have taken all the anger and resentment from the dirty looks I got from people like you out on you in one simple GFY and mind your own business.

Magritte25's proud to been on welfare. Wow, now being on welfare is an accomplishment. Dirty looks means they are working to pay your way and they don't like it or respect you for it.

Alarms raised by the Left that the black underclasses are malnourished. Look at the Ferguson riots. I'm seeing see is a segment of American society that clearly eats plenteously if not healthily.

Is anyone seeing malnourished people???

I'm more inclined to see the results of it, by witness of low intellect

To clarify the statement. The brain development deprived of nutrients in youth are a lasting effect. Food is cheaper than building prisons and maintaining them. Color is not the issue. The brain is somewhat void of intense color.

Funny thats about the exact opposite of what Magritte indicated. You seem to love this idea that everyone on welfare is proud of it. I think you should go try it. Tell us how proud you were. Oh wait....you wouldnt be would you? So why in the world do you assume everyone who has collected welfare is? Why do you ascribe these feelings to them? because it makes you feel more comfortable in your hate?

They're fine but people who are perfectly capable of working shouldn't have to live on them. We should be working instead we have to deal with employers who discriminate for all kinds of reasons.

Does that seem fair? No and its not to someone who gets foodstamps.
The difference is food stamps are paid by tax payers. No, I don't want to pay for their snacks or items I couldn't afford when I was working poor. Want candy? get a job and use your money from thatjob for that.
